SIGN    Our sincerest apologies
    We apologize for any inconvenience
    caused by this construction.
[00:04] Dealer A
    You're alone?
[00:05] Guy
    So, how much do you want?
[00:08] Aya
    All of it.
[00:09] Aya
    I want everything you have.
[00:12] Dealer B
    Huh?
[00:13] Dealer A
    Can you afford that?
[00:14] Aya
    No.
[00:15] Dealer A
    What?!
[00:16] Aya
    I don't have any money...
[00:18] Aya
    But I'm telling you to give me
    all of the drugs that you have.
[00:23] Dealer A
    Who the hell do you think you are?!
[00:28] Dealer C
    Hey!
[00:30] Dealer A
    Why, you—
[00:31] Dealer A
    You think you can get away?!
[00:39] Masaki
    Uh...
[00:41] Masaki
    I would suggest you reconsider.
[00:43] Dealer B
    Who the hell are you?!
[00:45] Masaki
    My name is Boogiepop...
    That's just how it is.
[00:58] Aya
    Great job, Masaki.
[01:03] Masaki
    This outfit is so stuffy.
[01:06] Aya
    But that's how they're dressed,
    according to the rumors.
[01:09] Masaki
    It's rough trying to fight
    in this outfit, honestly.
[01:15] Aya
    You're a hero, Masaki.
[01:23] Aya
    Thanks to you,
[01:25] Aya
    we saved at least a hundred people from
    ever coming in contact with these drugs.
[01:29] Aya
    It's quite noble.
[01:30] Masaki
    Noble, huh?
[01:33] Aya
    Oh... Your hand.
[01:36] Masaki
    Huh? My hand?
[01:38] Masaki
    It's not a big deal.
[01:41] Aya
    I'm sorry.
[01:44] Aya
    It's all my fault.
SIGN    Boogiepop and Others
[03:17] Masaki
    Before I knew it, about two weeks
    had passed since we started
SIGN    Dengeki Bunko
[03:21] Masaki
    this charade of me acting as Boogiepop.
[03:28] Masaki
    School's going to start soon.
    What should we do?
[03:35] Masaki
    I mean, we can't keep doing this forever...
[03:37] Masaki
    Right?
(Flashback) [03:40] Masaki
    Y-You're asking me to wear that?
(Flashback) [03:42] Aya
    You'll wear it when you appear.
(Flashback) [03:49] Masaki
    Does this work?
(Flashback) [03:51] Masaki
    You think I went too hard on this groper?
(Flashback) [03:53] Aya
    You really are amazing, Masaki.
(Flashback) [03:56] Masaki
    I don't really like using you as bait, though.
[03:59] Masaki
    I still have no idea why
    she wants me to do this.
[04:03] Masaki
    I'm actually relieved that today was a dud.
[04:05] Masaki
    It'd be scary if we got attacked all the time.
[04:10] Masaki
    What should we do? Should we keep doing this?
[04:15] Aya
    Masaki.
[04:16] Masaki
    What's up?
[04:18] Aya
    Isn't there anything you
    want me to do for you?
[04:22] Masaki
    I'll do anything you say. I'll do
    anything you want, Masaki.
[04:29] Aya
    I know that's not enough... But...
[04:33] Aya
    I'll do everything you desire.
[04:39] Masaki
    In that case... Why don't we continue
    this Boogiepop thing a little longer?
[04:45] Aya
    Are you sure?
[04:46] Masaki
    Yeah. I'm actually starting
    to have some fun with it, too.
[04:55] Aya
    You're such an idiot, Masaki.
[04:57] Masaki
    Yeah...
[05:05] Masaki
    Well, see you later.
[05:06] Aya
    Hey, Masaki. Do you—
[05:15] Masaki
    Did you say something?
[05:17] Aya
    No, it's nothing.
[05:19] Masaki
    Well, goodnight.
[05:22] Aya
    Goodnight.
[05:30] Aya
    Hello, this is Orihata.
[05:32] Spooky
    Camille?
[05:34] Aya
    Yes.
[05:35] Spooky
    The bastard hasn't fallen for the trap yet?
[05:38] Aya
    Not as of yet.
[05:40] Spooky
    Guess they're not gonna fall for something
    as dumb as having a fake waltzing around.
[05:45] Spooky
    Whatever.
[05:46] Spooky
    We're going to have Taniguchi
    Masaki do something else for us.
[05:50] Spooky
    Cut ties with him for now.
[05:52] Spooky
    If it comes down to it, I'm thinking
    about sterilizing this whole area.
[05:57] Spooky
    I'll send you further instructions later.
[05:59] Spooky
    That's all.
[06:11] Sasahara
    Hello, this is Sasahara.
[06:13] Spooky
    I put the drugs in a coin locker.
[06:16] Spooky
    Add them to the drinks you serve
    at the fast food place you work at.
[06:20] Sasahara
    Understood. Carrying out command.
[06:28] Spooky
    What?
[06:29] Terminal B
    Periodic report.
[06:30] Spooky
    Yeah?
[06:31] Terminal B
    70% of the spiked cream has been sold.
[06:35] Terminal B
    However, there are no visible changes
    to the customers who have purchased it.
[06:38] Spooky
    All right. Begin stage two on the customers
    who purchased the spiked cream,
[06:42] Spooky
    regardless of the results.
[06:44] Terminal B
    Understood.
[06:47] Terminal C
    Urgent report.
[06:49] Spooky
    Did you find something out?!
[06:50] Terminal C
    Apparently, they appear near the
    expressway overpass sometimes.
[06:53] Spooky
    That's the fake that I have walking around!
[06:56] Spooky
    Anything else?
[06:57] Terminal C
    There's a rumor that a shadowy figure like
    them was spotted on the roof of Twin City.
[07:01] Spooky
    I know that already! Look into this
    stuff before calling me, damn it!
[07:07] Spooky
    Curse you, Boogiepop...
[07:10] Spooky
    If it comes down to it, I'll level this
    whole place just to get rid of you!
[07:14] Spooky
    I can't seem to stop thinking
    about what they said, though.
(Flashback) [07:19] Boogiepop
    I'm currently trying to find the
    Imaginator that's reemerged...
[07:24] Spooky
    If I can figure out who the hell this
    Imaginator is, I might be able to...
SIGN    No Trespassing
[07:41] Kotoe
    When I get really depressed, I always
    come here, to my secret place.
(Flashback) [07:47] Kazuko
    Listen.
(Flashback) [07:48] Kazuko
    Try not to go near him until
    I figure out what's going on.
[08:00] Kotoe
    I first met Jin-niisan when I was five.
(Flashback) [08:05] Father
    You finally have the nerve to show
    your face, and this is what you do?
(Flashback) [08:09] Father
    Stop it, Nii-san.
(Flashback) [08:11] Father
    It was your decision to leave the
    family. I have no money to lend you.
(Flashback) [08:15] Jin
    Uncle's right, Father.
(Flashback) [08:17] Jin
    There's no way he'd let you
    borrow money so carelessly.
(Flashback) [08:20] Jin
    Let's go home.
(Flashback) [08:22] Jin's Father
    Yeah, you're right...
[08:24] Kotoe
    He was my first love, but I had
    no idea what to say to him.
[08:30] Kotoe
    I thought I'd never see him again.
[08:35] Kotoe
    But then, when I was nine,
[08:37] Kotoe
    we would end up meeting again in
    a way I couldn't have imagined.
(Flashback) [08:40] Father
    You don't need any money?
(Flashback) [08:42] Jin's Father
    Yeah, I'm sorry about back then.
(Flashback) [08:44] Jin's Father
    I don't need money anymore, though.
(Flashback) [08:47] Father
    Then what do you want?
(Flashback) [08:49] Jin's Father
    Koji, do you have any interest in paintings?
(Flashback) [08:53] Father
    Paintings?
(Flashback) [08:53] Jin's Father
    Absolute masterpieces.
(Flashback) [08:55] Jin's Father
    My current line of work deals with them.
(Flashback) [08:59] Father
    You're selling paintings?
    But that line of work
(Flashback) [09:02] Father
    requires you to have a really careful
     eye or you'll mess up someday.
(Flashback) [09:05] Jin's Father
    I have nothing to worry about.
     I'm letting him handle all of that.
(Flashback) [09:10] Father
    You're leaving it to Jin?
(Flashback) [09:11] Jin's Father
    He's a genius. He's already gotten
    countless awards for his art.
(Flashback) [09:15] Father
    I see... Are you planning on becoming
    an artist in the future, Jin?
(Flashback) [09:20] Jin
    It's my dream.
[09:27] Kotoe
    Then, that night...
(Flashback) [09:49] Kotoe
    What were you doing?
(Flashback) [09:51] Jin
    Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
(Flashback) [09:55] Jin
    I was just hoping it would snow.
(Flashback) [09:58] Kotoe
    Snow?
(Flashback) [09:59] Jin
    Yeah... I could've sworn
    it looked like it might.
(Flashback) [10:03] Kotoe
    Do you like snow?
(Flashback) [10:05] Jin
    Yeah. I know it seems a bit childish, but...
[10:10] Kotoe
    Shortly afterward, my uncle passed away,
[10:13] Kotoe
    and Jin-niisan was all alone.
[10:19] Kotoe
    The cause of his death is still unclear.
[10:21] Kotoe
    There were no signs of poisoning, so the
    cause of death was left undetermined.
(Flashback) [10:26] Lady
    He's such a good boy.
    They should just adopt him.
(Flashback) [10:29] Lady B
    But he declined the offer, didn't he?
[10:33] Kotoe
    But I was somewhat relieved that
    we could continue as cousins,
[10:37] Kotoe
    rather than as brother and sister.
[10:43] Kotoe
    And yet...
[10:48] Kotoe
    Jin-niisan...
[10:50] Spooky
    Ah, so that's the name of your man?
SIGN    Identification Card No. °°°°
    This card proves that this individual is a student at this school.
    
    Grade: Year 2
    Name: Kinukawa Kotoe
    Date of Birth: °°°°/°°/°°
    Shinyou Academy High School
[10:56] Spooky
    Her name's Kinukawa Kotoe, and
    she's seventeen years old...
[11:01] Spooky
    Kinukawa?
SIGN    The Ladder Ferris Wheel Bathrooms & Rest Areas
SIGN    Kinukawa Enterprises
[11:06] Spooky
    So that's why she has the master key.
[11:13] Spooky
    Perfect. I'll use this to find out
    more about this Imaginator.
[11:28] Kotoe
    There's something I want to ask you.
[11:30] Bartender
    Huh?
[11:31] Kotoe
    Have you ever heard of the Imaginator?
[11:39] Big guy
    Hey, where did you hear that name?
[11:41] Big guy
    Where the hell is that bastard?
[11:43] Kotoe
    Ah, so it's one person?
[11:45] Big guy
    I'm asking the questions here!
[11:47] Big guy
    Listen up. I know guys who got all screwed up
[11:50] Big guy
    thanks to that Imaginator bastard!
[11:53] Kotoe
    Screwed up? Could you elaborate
    a bit more on that?
[11:58] Kotoe
    I'll definitely pay you for the intel.
[12:01] Big guy
    Who the hell are you?
[12:03] Kotoe
    Well, I'm definitely not
    a friend of the Imaginator.
[12:11] Big guy
    I haven't seen 'em personally.
[12:14] Big guy
    I just know a guy who happened to
    coincidentally see this freak in action.
[12:18] Kotoe
    You're making it sound like they saw
     some supernatural phenomenon.
[12:22] Big guy
    Well, he did.
[12:23] Big guy
    He doesn't know how, but he said this freak
    managed to send a bunch of guys flying.
[12:31] Kotoe
    Flying?
[12:32] Big guy
    Yeah. But he didn't punch or kick 'em.
[12:36] Big guy
    And the ones who got sent flying...
[12:41] Big guy
    turned on the others.
[12:44] Kotoe
    You make it sound like
    they're some kind of monster.
[12:46] Big guy
    Yeah... I don't know what's going on, either.
[12:50] Kotoe
    What happened to the guys
    who got sent flying?
[12:53] Big guy
    What happened to 'em?
[12:55] Kotoe
    You mentioned they were all messed up.
[12:57] Big guy
    Right.
[12:58] Big guy
    I happened to run into a guy named
    Tsuyoshi just once after that.
[13:01] Big guy
    We were never close,
    but when I called out to him...
[13:08] Big guy
    The bastard looked over at me and smiled.
[13:12] Kotoe
    And what's so weird about that?
[13:14] Big guy
    He's just not the type to do that.
[13:16] Big guy
    I didn't know about the Imaginator back then.
[13:20] Big guy
    It was just like he was
    a totally different person.
[13:24] Kotoe
    I see...
[13:25] Kotoe
    So what I've gathered is that the
    Imaginator does something to these people
[13:30] Kotoe
    and draws them to their side.
[13:33] Big guy
    Something like that.
[13:35] Kotoe
    So what did their voice sound like?
[13:37] Big guy
    Voice?
[13:38] Kotoe
    Your friend heard them announce themselves.
[13:40] Kotoe
    That's how you found out their name, right?
[13:42] Big guy
    Yeah, he said it sounded really clear.
[13:45] Big guy
    They apparently sounded all high and mighty.
[13:47] Kotoe
    He didn't see their face, though?
[13:49] Big guy
    Nope.
[13:50] Big guy
    Come to think of it...
[13:51] Kotoe
    What?
[13:52] Big guy
    He did mention something about the color
    white... like, he saw a figure in white.
[14:00] Big guy
    What's your problem? Did that ring a bell?
[14:02] Kotoe
    Damn it! I can't access it!
[14:05] Big guy
    Hey...
[14:06] Kotoe
    Never mind. It's nothing.
[14:09] Big guy
    Hey, who the hell are you?
[14:12] Big guy
    What are you gonna do with all this info?
[14:14] Kotoe
    You don't want to get
    revenge for your friends?
[14:18] Big guy
    And how am I supposed to do that?
[14:24] Kotoe
    Use this cash to gather up some people.
[14:26] Kotoe
    Then we're going to hunt the Imaginator down.
[14:30] Big guy
    H-How the hell'd you get all this money?
[14:33] Kotoe
    This is nothing... At least, to me.
[14:40] Nagi
    Hey, Masaki.
[14:43] Masaki
    What's up?
[14:44] Nagi
    You've been going out a lot lately.
[14:47] Masaki
    You think so?
[14:48] Nagi
    And you've been coming home
    late. What've you been up to?
[14:51] Masaki
    It's not a big deal.
[14:57] Nagi
    What are these calluses?
[14:59] Masaki
    I've just been practicing karate.
[15:01] Masaki
    I'd been out of practice
    since I got to Japan.
[15:03] Nagi
    Didn't Sakakibara-sensei tell you that
    you'd get clobbered if you got too cocky?
[15:09] Masaki
    I know. I promise I'm not being cocky.
[15:12] Masaki
    There's just some stuff I'm thinking about.
[15:17] Nagi
    I hope you actually understand...
SIGN    Café Tristan
[15:23] Kotoe
    Oh? So that's your boyfriend?
[15:25] Kotoe
    He's pretty hot.
[15:35] Aya
    Masaki, I...
[15:37] Masaki
    Is she a friend of yours?
[15:39] Aya
    She's... my senpai at school.
[15:42] Kotoe
    The name's Kinukawa Kotoe. Nice to meet you.
[15:48] Masaki
    Likewise.
[15:49] Kotoe
    Wow, you must be used to
    girls if you didn't even
[15:52] Kotoe
    hesitate to take another girl's hand.
[15:54] Masaki
    Seriously, who are you?
[15:56] Kotoe
    I'm Orihata-san's friend, just like you...
[16:01] Kotoe
    Right, Boogiepop-san?
[16:05] Aya
    Kinukawa-san knows about us...
[16:08] Kotoe
    Yes, and I'd love to help out.
[16:12] Masaki
    And why do you want to help?
[16:13] Kotoe
    Do I really need a reason
    to do the right thing?
[16:16] Kotoe
    You should totally keep
    at it, Taniguchi-kun.
[16:19] Kotoe
    She came to talk to me about it.
[16:21] Kotoe
    You actually don't want to
    do it anymore, do you?
[16:34] Masaki
    Orihata, come with me for a sec.
[16:36] Kotoe
    Oh, don't mind me. I won't get in your way.
[16:40] Masaki
    I'll pay your tab. Please take your time.
[16:48] Aya
    Masaki, I...
[16:51] Masaki
    What did she do to you?
[16:53] Aya
    Nothing...
[16:55] Masaki
    Who the hell does she think she is?
[16:57] Masaki
    Does she have something on you?
[16:59] Aya
    It's nothing like that. Really.
[17:02] Masaki
    Then what the hell is going on?
[17:04] Masaki
    She definitely didn't seem like a friend.
[17:08] Masaki
    If you're in some kind of trouble, I can—
[17:09] Aya
    She saw the outfit.
[17:11] Masaki
    Outfit?
[17:12] Aya
    Yes. She's the daughter of the landlord
    in my apartment building, so...
[17:19] Masaki
    Kinukawa? Like Kinukawa Enterprises?
[17:22] Aya
    Yes.
[17:23] Masaki
    But why would she...
[17:25] Aya
    Well...
(Flashback) [17:31] Kotoe
    It's convenient that you just happened to
    be living in Kinukawa Kotoe's territory.
(Flashback) [17:35] Kotoe
    I'm going to make this my base
    for hunting down this Imaginator.
(Flashback) [17:40] Aya
    Imaginator?
(Flashback) [17:42] Kotoe
    I've got plenty of people
    ready to hunt them down.
(Flashback) [17:45] Kotoe
    You're going to take care of those men.
(Flashback) [17:47] Aya
    B-But then, Masaki will...
(Flashback) [17:50] Kotoe
    I told you. We're done with that brat.
(Flashback) [17:56] Kotoe
    What?
(Flashback) [17:58] Kotoe
    Don't tell me you still don't
    want that brat to hate you.
(Flashback) [18:03] Aya
    But the Towa Organization told me that
    I shouldn't let anyone hate me...
(Flashback) [18:07] Aya
    So...
(Flashback) [18:08] Kotoe
    What?!
(Flashback) [18:09] Kotoe
    You think you've got any right
    to get picky about men now?
(Flashback) [18:14] Kotoe
    Just so you know, I'm not some terminal.
(Flashback) [18:17] Kotoe
    I'm a copy.
(Flashback) [18:19] Kotoe
    How many guys have you taken
    since you left the facility?
(Flashback) [18:24] Aya
    I...
(Flashback) [18:25] Kotoe
    All because they wanted
    to see if synthetic humans
(Flashback) [18:28] Kotoe
    could crossbreed with normal ones...
(Flashback) [18:30] Kotoe
    But you didn't get knocked up even once.
(Flashback) [18:32] Aya
    Right...
(Flashback) [18:33] Kotoe
    I've actually succeeded, and I don't
    even have anything down there!
(Flashback) [18:37] Kotoe
    So why the hell does a failure
    like you get to have all the fun?!
(Flashback) [18:41] Kotoe
    God damn it!
(Flashback) [18:43] Kotoe
    Listen carefully, Camille.
(Flashback) [18:45] Kotoe
    Before we cut that brat loose,
    see if you can crossbreed with him.
(Flashback) [18:48] Aya
    Then Masaki will be freed
    from all of this, right?
(Flashback) [18:52] Kotoe
    Huh? Yeah, sure.
[18:55] Aya
    Thank goodness.
[18:57] Aya
    Masaki won't have to be Boogiepop anymore.
[19:03] Aya
    Masaki... I must save Masaki.
[19:08] Aya
    I'm sorry. I...
[19:10] Masaki
    You can't tell me?
[19:12] Aya
    It's all my fault.
[19:15] Aya
    Let's stop this Boogiepop thing for a while.
[19:18] Masaki
    Okay.
[19:18] Aya
    Yes.
[19:19] Masaki
    This doesn't concern you anymore.
    I'll keep doing it on my own.
[19:22] Aya
    Huh?
[19:23] Aya
    What do you mean, Masaki?
[19:25] Masaki
    As I said... I'm going to
    keep going on my own.
[19:30] Aya
    But why? You didn't want
    to do it in the first place.
[19:33] Masaki
    In that case... You didn't want
    to do it either, did you?
[19:40] Masaki
    You should've just been honest about it!
[19:43] Aya
    I...
[19:45] Masaki
    I didn't want to keep putting you
    in danger as the bait, either.
[19:48] Masaki
    But I thought this was
    what you wanted, so I...
[19:53] Aya
    Why... Why are you...
[20:01] Masaki
    I'm going. Bye.
[20:14] Aya
    Masaki!
[20:14] Spooky
    Wait.
[20:16] Aya
    Please, let me go!
[20:17] Spooky
    Excellent work, Camille.
[20:20] Spooky
    Change of orders.
[20:22] Spooky
    Apparently, he's going to continue
    being Boogiepop on his own.
[20:26] Spooky
    You said you wanted it to stop,
[20:28] Spooky
    so I came to convince you to reconsider...
[20:29] Spooky
    I dunno what's going on,
    but apparently he's a moron.
[20:32] Aya
    What do you mean?
[20:33] Spooky
    Sooner or later, they're going to find
    Boogiepop's corpse in some alley.
[20:40] Aya
    So by "cutting him loose"...
[20:41] Spooky
    Yeah. Then everyone will find out
    that the true identity behind
[20:45] Spooky
    the legendary Boogiepop is just
    some pathetic, heartbroken idiot!
[20:49] Aya
    No! You can't!
[20:55] Aya
    I'll report back to the Towa
    Organization regarding Boogiepop...
[20:59] Spooky
    Do you actually think you still
    work for the Towa Organization?
[21:05] Spooky
    The Towa Organization... Axis has
    already abandoned you!
[21:12] Spooky
    Listen up. You're nothing
    but a tool for me, Spooky E!
[21:19] Aya
    M-Masaki...
[21:23] Masaki
    I'm such an idiot!
(Flashback) [21:26] Jin
    Contrary to her demeanor, I'm pretty
    sure she's not as calm as she seems.
[21:31] Masaki
    I never thought too deeply about why
    Orihata would want to do any of this.
(Flashback) [21:37] Masaki
    Are your parents strict, or what?
(Flashback) [21:39] Aya
    I don't have any.
[21:41] Masaki
    There had to be more to this...
[21:43] Masaki
    But I was having so much fun,
    I didn't even think about it.
SIGN    Walk your bicycle through
[21:51] Masaki
    So until I figure that out,
    I'm going to continue this.
[22:00] Masaki
    Sorry, Nagi-neesan. I won't be
    able to come home for a while.
